I work with quite a few people that got their Master's degrees online. They get promotions as soon as they come up in the library system. However, I'm not sure what they had to do to get these degrees or what they had to pay for the cost of the classes, etc.

I've been wondering about these things lately myself because they seem to be advertising them alot. I would love to know the particulars. I don't know any of my co-workers well enough to ask alot of questions but maybe it's the only way I can find out first hand
